| //"My folks, my fellows, we have been punished. We have been weighed. We have been measured. And we have been found wanting; and justice has reigned from on high against our unholy action. We forgot to whom we owe life and so life was taken. But my friends, we have been given a second chance. The Sun and Sky all their infinite wisdom sent their children to us; the water to purify our deeds and the earth to creep in vines into our ears and through our brains while we slept, taking the memory of our deeds so that we might be made innocent and once more return to righteous worship!"// | //"My folks, my fellows, we have been punished.

They believe that the only way to avoid the wrath of nature once more is to repent the use of technology and to return to worship of the gods of the Sun, the Sky, the Water and the Earth. | + | The Sons, Daughters, and Children are people who believe that the apocalypse was brought on by our disrespect of nature.

| Two months ago, the now proclaimed Shepherd of the Sons, Daughters, and Children, Silas Adams, found a book; The Life and Times of Fleur Mercier. It was fragmented, with pages torn out, burnt, or missing, but on its cover was the face of a woman of whom he professed such a sense of familiarity. This may, of course, be due to the fact that amongst the ruins were found what appear to have been billboards with the same face on them. | Two months ago, the now proclaimed Shepherd of the Sons, Daughters, and Children, Silas Adams, found a book; The Life and Times of Fleur Mercier.

| - | The prose of the book were disjointed and came in two parts. One appeared to be the story of the life of Fleur Mercier. It told of her life in a streaming metropolis of a city; how she learnt she was told she had been chosen to play the role of a saviour. The second part appeared to detail rains of fire, great floods, and earthquakes that decimated the world. It was hard to tell whether these were prophecies or actual accounts but through them, she journeyed throughout the world, destroying technology and learning to understand and respect nature. | + | The prose of the book were disjointed and came in two parts.

| Within days Silas began to preach the word and it spread like wildfire among survivors. Believers now number approximately a hundred and many gather once a week to hear Silas speak. Of course, which such an influx, comes controversy. Debates over the meanings of passages are frequent, with some believing that technology should only be shunned when it is harmful to nature in some way, and some believing that all instances of it are disrespectful to nature. There is also disagreement over the relative importance of each aspect of Nature, with most worshipping all but favouring one over the others. Many worship as individuals in their own way. | Within days Silas began to preach the word and it spread like wildfire among survivors.
